Today I noticed...I like to have some doors closed and some doors opened.

I'm a bit on the claustrophobic spectrum. I don't usually like to be in a room with the door closed. I figured this out when the roads were covered in ice and my mother and I slid off the road into a ditch. I nearly tromped her to death trying to get out of the cab of the truck! 

I also don't like to sleep in a room where the door is closed. The concept was driven home to me when I was in the classroom and it was recommended that we close our doors. I noticed that I was generally more relaxed as a teacher when I could leave the door open. 

Then, when I moved into a position where my teaching was more like that of a consultant and I shared a classroom as an office, I tended to be more comfortable, productive, and in a better frame of mind if my desk faced the window.

Then, this week we have had extended days with temperatures below freezing. So, we did as recommended and left water dripping from the faucets and cabinet doors open to allow plenty of warm air to flow around the pipes. I frequently caught myself closing the cabinet doors as a habit. So, those doors seem to need to be closed for me to be more relaxed and comfortable.

Doors open for rooms I'm inhabiting. Doors closed for cabinets near me. That is the way I like it!
